Samantha and a group of girls did arts & crafts and took a trip to the playground
to get out their extra energy.
The boys took a trip to Lake St. Catherine, where they swam and fished.
The group traveled to Rutland to see Smurfs 2 in the movie theater.
To celebrate the end of summer, the group took a trip to The Fun Spot, where
they played laser tag and mini golf, ate pizza, and raced go-karts. All the youth
tried at least one new activity, and everyone had a ton of fun!
